Yes guys this thread is supposed to be a safe space for gay rage.

Adi is right after all, the song would be much better if there was no conflict or redemption arc... That sort of thing can send mixed messages to the afflicted.

Bitch you just hate anything that isn't late 70s/early 80s white. You are the whitest person and resent having no other personality.

She absolutely does, she sounds like a Dominican from the Bronx

FWIW I've always had the impression she was an intelligent person unlike most celebs, even if her music is not for me

elph goes so far to avoid getting personal that he abstains from using the word "you"

And yes we've debated that before (and covered history as well) and I still don't see why the two words should be treated differently. For me the only difference is that black people have managed to fight for their position to be heard and taken seriously, queer people obviously have a ways to go. :/

Difficult to make simple comparisons given the way both groups are treated in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe & Russia and China.

Afflicted? In what way? OK, it may be easier for some if songs have no conflict or redemption but out there in the real world they exist. Maybe I’m missing the point here or simply misunderstanding?

Realistic gay cartoons are so rare I’ve stitched together a few. Is this the right place to dump them?

Thanks whoever assembled all my separate images in one place. I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it myself. Where should I look for instructions?

Everything We Know About the 31 Patriot Front Members Arrested in a U-Haul
For years, members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front have mostly managed to keep their identities under wraps, concealing their faces in public and using aliases even when talking to each other online.

But now, the mask is off: Thirty-one members of the notoriously secretive, optics-obsessed group, including their leader, were arrested in Idaho over the weekend.

The group was traveling in the back of a U-Haul, apparently headed to downtown Coeur d’Alene where an annual LGBTQ Pride event (and a far-right counter-event) was underway, when they were intercepted by law enforcement. Police said the men had shields, flag poles, and a smoke grenade with them.


Mugshots and names of all 31 arrestees were released by the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office. They’re all white and male, per the group’s requirements, ranging in age from 20 to 40. They traveled from a dozen different states to be there; seven came from Texas, six from Utah, five from Washington.

Patriot Front’s alleged plot to interfere with the annual Pride event coincides with a surge in anti-LGBTQ and transphobic rhetoric coming from the mainstream GOP and domestic extremists alike.

Sorting through my LP’s today I came across this quaint little number. Musically more than a bit naf I kept it for the cover which said it all.

The right is already calling it a false flag because of course they are.

I'm convinced they all know they're full of sh*t at this point, not only would they have to convince themselves that the federal government has it out for right wing groups rather than leftist ones despite all the evidence that says the exact opposite and many of them do have enough of a persecution complex to really believe that, and they really do think the government hates the right enough to attempt an elaborate false flag conspiracy, but then they would also have to convince themselves that the right wouldn't do something like this despite constantly threatening to do it all the time and that's what I don't buy for even a split second.

They know this is who they are, the right pushes false flag accusations because it's part of the whole "hiding our power level" thing.

Patriot Front puts stickers and posters up where I live. I'm getting pretty good at peeling.

I mean I don't know if I'd call what I do "proper" drag, I pretty much just throw on a cute skirt and destroy my face with goth foundation and then whip up some Siouxsie or Cleopatra eyes with my crappy gel eyeliner...

... but yes, yes you totally should try it, and not just because for some reason dancing instantly becomes 50% more enjoyable when you're bending gender conventions

Marie Monday 06-15-2022 04:19 PM

That is very proper drag <3
I just mean I dress like a man regularly but as a woman that's more conventional, I need to add a fake moustache or something like that

I also hear they have a history of calling the cops on themselves before a protest so there'll be a police presence to protect them from Antifa. I really hope that's true.

The new QUEER AS FOLK series isn’t as superficial and white anglo as the previous one. A wider range of sexualities and racial types though still doesn’t compensate for the often shallow dialogue and story lines. The actors make the best of a script I often found vacuous. Be interested to read what anyone else thinks of it.

Oh cool, it's already out on the internet. I'll try to watch it soon and report back.

I don't remember the original series or the American remake as being any particular masterpiece of scriptwriting (I just don't think Russell T. Davies is as good of a writer as he thinks he is, including It's a sin), so I'm not expecting a lot from this iteration. Let's see.

I've just ordered a copy of Alex Bayley's : Beyond Buggery : Digging up Stories of Sex Between Men on The Victorian Goldfields.

https://alexbayley.id.au/2019/07/beyond-buggery/

Male ancestors on my father's side, and a few on my mothers, were either bi-sexual or gay. So, I've had an interest in this repressed portion of history since my gay Uncle took me aside at age 21 to fill me in on many of the details which I've since confirmed.
Not that I was a late starter. Joined the Brighton Life Saving club at age fourteen only to discover the joys and delights of all those Jewish boys mucking around in the showers. Oy veigh ! Vot a plaze to be startink olrady !

You must be a part of the generation that got decimated in the 80s and 90s. I'm quite fascinated by how people managed to dodge that bullet considering how wild those times apparently were with the nascent gay liberation.

I grew up being terrified of STDs and HIV. I had nightmares about catching HIV even before I became sexually active. One of the reasons I'm monogamous is also because I don't want to fuck around with that, despite all the medications available. I suppose only a cure for AIDS would bring us back to those "care free" times. Not sure that will happen in my lifetime.

There are some good books about that era before the advent of HIV when people weren't afraid of sex and were living out their fantasies to the fullest (Hollinghurst in particular with The Swimming Pool Library, although some also criticize his choice to completely ignore the ongoing pandemic).

We sure weren’t afraid of sex but police entrapment and gay bashing were a constant threat. Still are in many parts of the world.

As to how I dodged the bullet, I was lucky. An ex lover was working in the US laboratory that discovered AID’s, then known as gay cancer by some. He phoned me and warned it was sexually transmitted. I took to wearing condoms which triggered some nasty reactions from other fairies but hey, I’m still alive when the majority of my gay friends soon died, often in a very horrifying ways. Working as a care team member and later an area supervisor for the AIDS COUNCIL. I witnessed the worst and best of our kind. The real surprise were the many upper class church ladies who were up to their elbows in volunteer nursing without ever using that position to evangelise. I’ll stop here as I tend to ramble on and on when I start recalling those times.
